Not a lot of Christmas Baking going on here this year...actually there has been zero Christmas Baking going on here this year. No florentines, no mince tarts, no cream cheese cookies no nothing. I haven't changed my name to Ebenezer...we're just not going to be around for the holidays this year. We're off to spend time with David's family and the travelling means no baked goods, although I suppose I could have just made billions of treats like normal and gorged on them prior to Christmas risking fitting into my plane seat...

I still wanted to give my colleagues something baked as their Christmas giftie so I whipped up a half batch of an old family favourite of mine. Nova Scotia Oatcakes.

These oatcakes are a cross between a Scottish Oatcake (savoury and crispy) and an oatmeal cookie (soft and sweet). I love them with a slice of cheese or a smear of creamed honey.

I'm tweeting!

Well hello there!!

Welcome to 21st century urban housewife! I hope that you enjoy my homely and sometimes scattered postings. I started this blog when my hubby and I first moved-in together. I wasn't working, so I was "keeping house" and writing about it. Since then, we've moved to Edinburgh and I've found myself in the middle of an active and enthusiastic foodie scene. While I'm still on a budget I'm allowing myself some indulgences...
